Fans discuss a CODCO sketch parodying Seinfeld with biblical characters, with appreciation for Canadian comedy and requests for information about the obscure sketch show.
Hi!
anyone catch CODCO's parody of Seinfeld ("Savior"), with Jerry as
Jesus, Kramer as Peter, and George as Paul? I thought the link between
the people was very funny!
(I know that the CODCO bit is dated, but I only saw it recently!
It's still really funny!)Brendan

Maybe this is a really dumb question, but what is CODCO? I thought I knew every show ever on TV but I guess not.

CODCO is a comedy program that was created by the comedy troupe of the same name that originated in my home province of Newfoundland. It was only shown on CBC in Canada until more recently, as it began airing on Showcase, another Canadian channel. It was sketch comedy, but very bizarre at time, if you didn't understand Newfoundland culture. The 'Seinfeld' parody was hilarious, all the same.

I loved CODCO!!! It's too bad that things had to end before the show had a real chance of growing on people. But there's no question, the CODCO crew, and This Hour Has 22 Minutes puts almost all current comedy to shame with the exceptions of Seinfeld and the Kids In the Hall (which is off the air anyway <sigh>).
They truly have done a great deal for Canadian humour and culture!

PS ... but I never did get to see the Seinfeld parody

Newfoundland?...Isn't that the place with their own strange little
time zone?When everyone else is on the hour, they're on the
half-hour...Must be really tough to read the TV Guide...
